Nancy Pelosi

Trump has provided Democrats with plenty of political fodder, including leading a slow-footed federal response to an outbreak that has caused profound economic, health and social disruption.

Acting swiftly in an extraordinary time, the House rushed President Donald Trump a $2.2 trillion rescue package Friday, tossing a life preserver to a U.S. economy and health care system left flailing by the coronavirus pandemic.

Pelosi (D-San Francisco) said public demand for witness testimony, such as from former National Security Adviser John Bolton, will hopefully force Republican senators to call witnesses. 

“This is the worst transgression," said Pelosi. "What this president did is worse than anything that any president has done. We have to make sure that no president no matter who he or she may be can think they can get away with this.”

With so much riding on the census, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi came to San Francisco City Hall Friday to help launch a new campaign to get residents to participate in the 2020 Census. It's called "San Francisco Counts."

In a dramatic procession across the U.S. Capitol, Democratic House leaders marched the formal articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate late Wednesday, setting the stage for only the third trial to remove a president in American history.

“In an impeachment trial, every Senator takes an oath to do ‘impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws,'' Pelosi wrote. ”Every Senator now faces a choice: to be loyal to the President or the Constitution.”

After a historic vote by U.S. House of Representative members to impeach President Trump, making him the third president in history to be charged with committing high crimes and misdemeanors, there's confusion around what happens next. 

Trump has defended his conduct as "perfect" and said he will refuse to comply with the inquiry.
